It's a decent performer. It can also easily be modified for cell
frequencies. That would probably explain the high prices. I have seen them
go for much more...

I was just given a Pro-34 scanner by a friend who bought it some years
back
to monitor airband frequencies (he's a pilot), but then he got a dedicated
airband transceiver shortly after purchasing the Pro-34. So he put the
scanner away; he said he used it for a total of less than two hours. It
appears brand new, there's no dust on it, but there is no AC adapter or
manual (I found an operating guide online). I already have a couple of
scanners, but I said I would take it anyway.

I turned in on last night and programmed a few local frequencies into it.
It
worked great, even with the stock antenna. I replaced that with a Diamond
RH77CA antenna, which pulls in signals much better. I was pretty impressed
by its sound and sensitivity. It's bigger than anything I currently own,
but
still not too ungainly for a portable scanner.

So, my questions: has anybody on the group ever owned of these scanners?
How
did you find their performance to be? How does it compare to more current
models? I don't really need this scanner, but I don't know whether it is
even worth putting it up for sale. I noticed that several of these sold on
eBay recently for between $50-$72 US, which seems rather high to me, but I
have no idea if that price range is realistic or not.

If the consensus is that it's a good performer, I may just end up keeping
it, since we have very little trunked scanner activity in my listening
area
anyway. But I need another scanner like I need un agujero en la cabeza...
